Carbohydrate Derivative from Baylis–Hillman Adduct. An Easy and Short Synthesis of 2‐Deoxy‐2‐C‐methylene‐<scp>D</scp>‐<i>erythro</i>‐pentono‐1,4‐lactone

Abstract

Abstract A simple and straightforward approach for the synthesis of an α‐methylene‐δ‐butyrolactone from a Baylis–Hillman adduct obtained from a chiral α‐hydroxy aldehyde, is described.
